  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Drop heaping portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly, then bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
